Quality posts? - Herodionus - Aug 10, 2016
Hey, relatively new to HF, and not sure what qualifies as a quality post.
Thanks, Herodionus

Posts that add insight to the discussion, posts that aren't short one-liners ("wow good luck with sales!"), posts that help out the OP.

This identifies as a low quality post. Find a section that interests you and spread your knowledge and have high quality posts like mine!

Code
1. Post in the correct category. Read the forum descriptions if you are confused.
2. Use good grammar. Basically start sentences with a capital and end it with punctuation.
3. Don't double post. That's when you post one after another instead of editing your existing first post.
4. Don't cross post. That's when you repeat a post in multiple threads or categories.
5. Create relevant subjects for threads. Shit like "OMG" for a subject is immature and asinine.
6. When posting content from another site, credit the site; use quotes and link to original content (unless it is a competing forum, in which case you shouldn’t be posting the content).
7. No "Post Here and PM me" threads will be allowed. This includes "Post Here and I'll PM You" or any "Post to PM" threads.
8. Be kind to others. How hard is it not to be an asshole?
9. Act like you're older than 16 even if you aren't.Read this, should clear some things up for you. Original source.
